There are also bulb applicators. I use them all the time. The good LHS in the area sells them for 50cents each and they last for years.

You stick them down into the open bottle of CA and squeeze the bulb and let go. It sucks up a little CA and holds it in until you squeeze again. Then, depending on how you squeeze, it applies just exactly how much and how fast you want.

Another trick is to apply from the bottom up. Just applying the tip of this thing will draw about the right amount of CA right out into the joint. You do have to apply the right amount of pressure as you then draw the tip up the joint. It works like magic. I also don't expect to apply the perfect amount while the parts are pinned to the plans. I always go over the wing or whatever once it's unpinned.

Every crossover joint (rib to spar for example) has 4 sides, right. So I only glue one side when the part is pinned. Then get one other side after getting the part off the plan. Sometimes do the other three sides depending on how well the CA has penetrated.

The bulb is almost magic once you perfect your technique. And it does medium great. Actually it does it Excellently.

It also glues those CA hinges great too. Using the CA bottle is like trying to fill a cup from a 55gallon barrel.
